Testis sperm extraction
The last 20 years have produced developments in the treatment for patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) who were once considered to be infertile. The combination of intracytoplasmic sperm injection together with various testicular sperm retrieval techniques, including conventional testicular sperm extraction (TESE), microdissection TESE (micro-TESE) and fine needle aspiration (FNA), h...
متن کاملMicrodissection testicular sperm extraction causes spermatogenic alterations in the contralateral testis.
Testicular sperm extraction (TESE) associated with intracytoplasmic sperm injection has allowed many men presenting non-obstructive azoospermia to achieve fatherhood. Microdissection TESE (microTESE) was proposed as a method to improve sperm retrieval rates in these patients; however, there have been failures. Little is known about whether microTESE leads to spermatogenic alterations in the con...
متن کاملStructural and functional changes to the testis after conventional versus microdissection testicular sperm extraction.
OBJECTIVES To compare, in a retrospective study, the ultrasound findings and hormonal changes after testicular sperm extraction (TESE) using the conventional multiple biopsy approach and the more recent microdissection technique. TESE has been performed using the conventional multiple biopsy approach and the more recent microdissection technique. METHODS A total of 435 men with nonobstructive...
متن کاملMicrodissection testicular sperm extraction
Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) is considered the gold standard method for surgical sperm retrieval among patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). In this review, we will discuss the optimal evaluation of NOA patients and strategies to medically optimize NOA patients prior to microTESE. In addition, we will also discuss technical principles and pearls to maximize...
متن کاملCancer/Testis genes in relation to sperm biology and function
Cancer testis antigens (CTAs), a large family of tumor-associated and immunogenic antigens expressed in human tumors of various histological origins, are highly restricted to the testis and trophoblast. CTAs have been identified as potent targets for tumor-specific immunotherapeutic advances and have immensely lead to the development of different clinical trials of CTA-based vaccine therapy bec...
